Games on SL Blend for 1st Graders

Learning the SL Blend through Games

Word blending allows kids to practice their language skills creatively. It empowers them to think on their feet and puts consonants and vowels together with the blend to form words. It helps them think of everyday words they use, whether those words contain the blend or modify them to incorporate the blend.

For example, words like slow, sloth, slug, slam, slap, slippers are all words that begin with the SL blend. As kids progress in their spelling abilities, it's important to get them to practice writing down SL blend words as well. Based on your kids' learning abilities, you can even teach them complex words that contain the SL blend in the middle, such as isle, aisle, and translate.

In words like isle and aisle, it's important to note that the 'SL' blend is silent. This is another great learning curve for kids.

These days, parents and teachers often resort to digitally available online games that help their kids pick up word blends. SplashLearn has a wide range of SL blend games for 1st graders where educational skills and fun are combined to provide a wholesome English language learning tool for kids.
